You get used to the knobbies after the first couple of times. Use the lightest one to get there quicker.

Hula hooping won't get rid of a fat bulge. Nothing will, except liposuction and reduction of overall body fat. Unfortunately, that's my problem, too. That fat bulge on my midsection is always going to be there, relatively out of place to the rest of my body, no matter how big my body is!

Hula-hooping WILL, however, make your midsection stronger and draw in those muscles under that tummy bulge, and make it appear less noticeable.
